What comes to find when reading the review for "The Astonishing Hypothesis" is FINALLY. What I mean is that these past two weeks we have been learning about fascinating scientific theories of the mind and consciousness which are on the edge of technology and on the forefront thoughts of the most scientific minds but I have not understood a word of it. Or at least felt that I truly did understand it.
Now I have not read the actual book but the snippets included in the review seem readable. He seems to write and explain his ideas in a way that does not dumb down the science but makes the science attainable to people like me, who has not extensively studied philosophy and brain structure. It is refreshing to see a person who wants to make science something that everyone can understand and not just the scientific elite.
Many a times, as mentioned in the review, the simplest answer is usually the correct answer, so why makes things more difficult, for yourself and the world?
